My mistake for assuming it was a first!
Carbon on the hull!!! That is neat.
I have only played around a bit with carbon. I made some new hatch covers and they are stiffer and lighter than the strip ones. Reason for making them was the original ones warped a bit after several years!
From my experiments I find one layer of carbon does not seem overly stiff but when used with a core I do notice increased stiffnes.compared to f/g.
At the price I use it sparingly! Have you found it to be better at resisting rock damage?
